to be instances where the kernel doesn't  properly save and/or
restore it.

Use noupcall and nocompleted flags in the KSE mailbox.  These
require kernel changes to work which will be committed sometime
later.  Things still work without the changes.

Remove the general kse entry function and use two different
functions -- one for scope system threads and one for scope
process threads.  The scope system function is not yet enabled
and we use the same function for all threads at the moment.

Keep a copy of the KSE stack for the case that a KSE runs
a scope system thread and uses the same stack as the thread
(no upcalls are generated, so a separate stack isn't needed).
This isn't enabled yet.

Use a separate field for the KSE waiting flag.  It isn't
correct to use the mailbox flags field.

The following fixes were provided by David Xu:

  o Initialize condition variable locks with thread versions
    of the low-level locking functions instead of the kse versions.

  o Enable threading before creating the first thread instead
    of after.

  o Don't enter critical regions when trying to malloc/free
    or call functions that malloc/free.

  o Take the scheduling lock when inheriting thread attributes.

  o Check the attribute's stack pointer instead of the
    attributes stack size for null when allocating a
    thread's stack.

  o Add a kseg reinit function so we don't have to destroy and
    then recreate the same lock.

  o Check the return value of kse_create() and return an
    appropriate error if it fails.

  o Don't forget to destroy a thread's locks when freeing it.

  o Examine the correct flags word for checking to see if
    a thread is in a synchronization queue.

Things should now work on an SMP kernel.

environment.  This includes support for multiple KSEs and KSEGs.

The ability to create more than 1 KSE via pthread_setconcurrency()
is in the works as well as support for PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM threads.
Those should come shortly.

There are still some known issues which davidxu and I are working
on, but it'll make it easier for us by committing what we have.

This library now passes all of the ACE tests that libc_r passes
with the exception of one.  It also seems to work OK with KDE
including konqueror, kwrite, etc.  I haven't been able to get
mozilla to run due to lack of java plugin, so I'd be interested
to see how it works with that.

and for cancellation points:

	_foo - wrapped system call
	__foo - enter cancellation point, call _foo(), leave
	        cancellation point
	foo - weak definition to __foo

Change use of global _thread_run to call a function to get the
currently running thread.

Make all pthread_foo functions weak definitions to _pthread_foo,
where _pthread_foo is the implementation.  This allows an application
to provide its own pthread functions.

Provide slightly different versions of pthread_mutex_lock and
pthread_mutex_init so that we can tell the difference between
a libc mutex and an application mutex.  Threads holding mutexes
internal to libc should never be allowed to exit, call signal
handlers, or cancel.

thread switches should be on par with that under scheduler
activations.

  o Timing is achieved through the use of a fixed interval
    timer (ITIMER_PROF) to count scheduling ticks instead
    of retrieving the time-of-day upon every thread switch
    and calculating elapsed real time.

  o Polling for I/O readiness is performed once for each
    scheduling tick instead of every thread switch.

  o The non-signal saving/restoring versions of setjmp/longjmp
    are used to save and restore thread contexts.  This may
    allow the removal of _THREAD_SAFE macros from setjmp()
    and longjmp() - needs more investigation.

Change signal handling so that signals are handled in the
context of the thread that is receiving the signal.  When
signals are dispatched to a thread, a special signal handling
frame is created on top of the target threads stack.  The
frame contains the threads saved state information and a new
context in which the thread can run.  The applications signal
handler is invoked through a wrapper routine that knows how
to restore the threads saved state and unwind to previous
frames.

Fix interruption of threads due to signals.  Some states
were being improperly interrupted while other states were
not being interrupted.  This should fix several PRs.

Signal handlers, which are invoked as a result of a process
signal (not by pthread_kill()), are now called with the
code (or siginfo_t if SA_SIGINFO was set in sa_flags) and
sigcontext_t as received from the process signal handler.

Modify the search for a thread to which a signal is delivered.
The search algorithm is now:

  o First thread found in sigwait() with signal in wait mask.
  o First thread found sigsuspend()'d on the signal.
  o Current thread if signal is unmasked.
  o First thread found with signal unmasked.

Collapse machine dependent support into macros defined in
pthread_private.h.  These should probably eventually be moved
into separate MD files.

Change the range of settable priorities to be compliant with
POSIX (0-31).  The threads library uses higher priorities
internally for real-time threads (not yet implemented) and
threads executing signal handlers.  Real-time threads and
threads running signal handlers add 64 and 32, respectively,
to a threads base priority.

Some other small changes and cleanups.
